So strange but I had issues with both Ipsy and Birchbox this month. If you remember I was missing a sample from my Ipsy and the box I received from Birchbox is totally different from what they show online. That is not a problem as I don’t have issues with what I received its just weird that both of my subscriptions were messed up this month!

Lara Says: Because Birchbox is so awesome they also included samples of Oi Shampoo and Conditioner (which don’t count as my samples) Smells heavenly, I’ll let you know what I think! And this is a big sample size great job so far Birchbox… 🙂

Ok so if you are not on board with Birchbox what are you waiting for?! One of the reasons I keep coming back to Birchbox is their points system where you use your points to buy products in the Shop. You can get points a few different ways: One is by referring people (50 points), buying products in the shop (1 point for every $1 spent), and by reviewing the products you received in your box (10 points for each review). And… 100 points=$10. So with a little math you can see that if you review all your products every month, you will get, on average, $5 in points a month. I like to look at that as getting my box for half price!
